That last three minutes saw something else as that Marian Hossa empty-netter didn't look like much putting the Hawks up 4-1 but it was the game-winner. The Chicago Blackhawks enter their 5th straight Western Conference Finals as Sin City and NHL Experts "Pick to Click" is still alive and skating well!

The Indian Head went up 1-0 after one on a Brent Seabrook goal getting it past Wild net minder Devan Dubnyk going upper-tank. Then in the 2nd it was Andrew Shaw on a power play goal in front of the net giving the Hawks a 2-0 lead. That lead lasted three minutes and some change as the Wild finally got on the board after an Erik Haula score.

It was 2-1 heading into the 3rd as late goal by the Hawks "Bison City Mullet" Patrick Kane made it 3-1 as the game looked out of reach for the Wild. Then under the four minute mark the Wild pulls Dubnyk out of the blue-paint for an extra attacker to no avail as Marina Hoss "Lights the Lamp" for a 4-1 Hawks lead.  

With Wild Nation seemingly exiting the Xcel Energy Center by the groves the Wild get two goals within a minutes time to make things real interesting at 4-3 Hawks. Then after a flurry of shots at the net just missing as "Craw-Dad" and the Hawks "D" was on their heels the horn sounded and Hawks win...Hawks win...Hawks win!

Patrick Kane scored his 4th goal in as many games as "Craw-Dad" in net saves 34 of 37 SOG including at one points he as 34 of 35 heading into the final stretch. Dubnyk was o his heels for most of the series as the Hawks Offense kept coming and coming.

Now with the four-game sweep the Indian Head gets rest waiting for either the Anaheim Ducks or Calgary Flames as the Mighty Ducks lead 2-1 with Game 4 on Friday Night.
